Topic: new packages, no brood (Read 1363 times)

hi folks - I installed new package bees with queen couple of week sago - no brood yet (today is 4/10/05)...they seem to be thriving, filling the drawn comb I gave them with nectar - should I be concerned? Thanks.

if they have all the cells filled with nector, I would stop feeding them so they will eat some of it. She just may not have any room to lay here eggs at. I would see if after you stop feeding the them if they start cleaning out some off the cells. She would at least have the room to lay if she needed to. Some one esle that knows more than me should be on in a while. I think this is what should be done.
